What is the perfect pre-exercise cocktail for ramping up growth and strength to optimal levels?
Over the past decade an explosion of scientific studies have gone into answering this question.
Champion Nutrition has taken this research and provided the answer in the form of a new revolutionary supplement called -
ADRENOL8 (pronounced "adre-no-late"). In order to understand the research based rationale for the new ADRENOL8 formula strength athletes need to realize that 3 criteria are required for maximizing strength and muscle gains with a pre-workout drink.
1.The cocktail must increase protein synthesis (building of proteins) while simultaneously halting the breakdown of muscle tissue.
2.Pre workout nutrition should aim to enhance immediate workout strength, intensity, and delay fatigue.
3.Pre workout nutrition should provide the raw materials necessary to initiate the immediate repair of muscle tissue.
There are no ifs, buts, or ands about it. We claim that the combination of ingredients in ADRENOL8 maximize all 3 pre workout requisites in a way which has never been done before. The supplement does this through a (1) Nitro blend to enhance immediate repair, a (2) Power blend to increase workout strength, an (3) Energy blend meant to ramp focus and intensity, and a (4) transport blend capable of optimizing absorption of each ingredient in the cocktail. Read on for a pre workout scientific explosion!
Branched Chain Amino Acids - Over 85 % of the muscle growth which occurs after eating is triggered by amino acids. Research tells us that the 3 most important amino acids for triggering muscle growth are the Branched Chain Amino acids known as leucine, isoleucine, and valine. In fact these 3 amino acids alone can stimulate as much protein synthesis as all 20 amino acids combined! Which is why our blend is rich in BCAAs.
Nitric Oxide - Protein synthesis is reliant on the amount of branched chain amino acids in the blood, and on the delivery of these amino acids to skeletal muscle. The gas Nitric Oxide, released from blood vessels in response to exercise, causes those blood vessels to dilate (open up) and thus directs the blood towards muscle tissue. N02 is made from the amino acid arginine which is broken down at a high level in the liver. To counter the breakdown of arginine we have included arginine alpha keto glutarate (AKG) , in which a molecule called AKG is added to arginine thus lowering its breakdown. The second is a modified form known as arginine-pryoglutamate (AP). Research shows that arginine is able to stimulate growth hormone release from the brain. We chose AP due to the fact that this form of arginine can cross the blood brain barrier enhancing arginine's GH stimulation effects
Creatine - ADRENOL8 has a power blend that will send your muscles into overdrive! For decades it has been well known that creatine has the ability to increase muscle size, strength, power, and force. Based on the latest cutting edge research,. Champion Nutrition has included a combination of creatine monydrate and dicreatine malate, which have been shown by research to result in faster creatine absorption, and consequently, faster gains.
Beta-alanine - While creatine phosphate enhances power over shorter rep schemes (1-3 reps) beta-alanine enhances strength over more moderate repetition ranges (8-12 repetitions). The reason is that strength over this range is fueled by the breakdown of carbohydrates, which results in the build up of lactic acid, eventually leading to fatigue. The main buffer for acid in muscle is the carnosine molecule, which similar to N02, is made from the amino acids alanine and histadine. Unlike histadine, alanine availability is limited, and research has found that supplementing with beta-alanine increases carnosine levels, and strength and power in weight lifting, cycling, and sprinting. Thus, the power blend is formulated to enhance strength over the beginning and longer duration portions of weight training sets.
Caffeine and Glucuronolactone - Athletes often struggle to find the animalistic mentality necessary to train hard and heavy. With the inclusion of Caffeine and Glucuronolactone ADRENOL8 will give you more energy than you could dream off, taking your workout performance to another stratosphere! Caffeine stimulates the "fight or flight" response hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline, known for allowing people to perform amazing feats of strength. While Glucuronolactone has been shown to enhance concentration, reaction time, and cognitive performance, giving you the focus you need to get into the "zone" during your workouts.
Carbohydrates, Electrolytes and a cinnamon extract - All the nutrients your muscle could want are provided in
ADRENOL8 - now we just need to find a way to get them there!
Champion Nutrition had exactly this in mind when we included carbohydrates, electrolytes and a well researched cinnamon extract. It is well known that insulin and electrolytes drive nutrients such as amino acids and creatine into the muscle cells; The cinnamon extract further assists this process by enhancing insulin function delivering more nutrients into your muscles faster!
The fact is, weight training is brutal and takes the utmost dedication; Thus, our longstanding mission, is to maximize the benefits an athlete obtains from each training session. Research shows that pre-workout nutrition may be the most critical time to accomplish this goal. With the advent of
ADRENOL8 we expect gains in strength and size to accelerate to rates never before seen! We can therefore stand with confidence and say that at the end of the day we are in you corner!
